SRS Nanoscopy is Published in Nature Methods and Highlighted by DeepTech
Haonan Li et al published "Label-free nanoscopy of cell metabolism by ultrasensitive reweighted visible stimulated Raman scattering", in Nature Methods. This method achieved label-free chemical imaging of nanostructures inside living cells. By leveraging AI, our team developed a stimulated Raman nanoimaging technique with a resolution of up to 86 nanometers.
We produced 5 PhDs in 2024!
Congratulations to Zhongyue, Hongli, Yifan, Xiaowei and Jiaze! May your path ahead be paved with achievements and joy!
